Yes! Humans and lizard people alike should untie against the Khazar Jews!!eleven!
Er... what, exactly, is a Khazar Jew? Are they different from Orthodox Jews? Are regular Jews ok? Should regular Jews join with the humans and lizard people to fight the Khazars??? Which side is the Hebrew Hammer on? Hmm, I'll bet the Hebrew Hammer is a Khazar Jew. What about diplomacy to the Democratic People's Republic of the North Pole? Will Santa commit legions of elven slave armies to the alliance of humans and lizard people against the Khazar Jews?

It's a theory on the origin of the Ashkenazi Jews used by various anti-Semitic groups. the idea (IIRC) is that the ancestors of the Ashkenazi Jews never really were in Judea and came from a southern Turkic empire called Khazar.
Khazar really did exist (and was used as the name source for the renaming of the Klingons to the Khazari in an early Trek game on the Plato System called Empire.)
In truth, Khazar was a mix of various religions and was a competitor to the Byzantines.
